Coronavirus: Airport testing and a royal lockdown

Here are five things you need to know about the coronavirus outbreak this Wednesday evening. We'll have another update for you tomorrow morning.

1. To test or not to test

We've heard from Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden, who's said testing is not a "silver bullet" to stop the need for quarantine for people returning from Spain. Heathrow boss John Holland-Kaye wants tests at airports, and again a few days later, as an alternative. While Conservative MP Crispin Blunt thinks a more targeted use of quarantine measures would get more public support than a blanket rule for the whole of Spain. You can read more on why the UK isn't testing travellers on their return home here.

4. A royal lockdown

We've all learned something about ourselves in lockdown, even the Duke of Cambridge it seems. Home-schooling and keeping his young children entertained have been "pretty testing", the prince told That Peter Crouch Podcast. "I've learned my patience is a lot shorter than I thought it was - and my wife has super patience," he said.

5. 'I can't thank them enough'

"How can you thank people who saved your life?" asked 47-year-old Roehl Ribaya, who spent 60 days being treated for coronavirus at an intensive care unit in Blackpool. As the ICU's last Covid patient was wheeled out to applause, lead consultant Dr Jason Cupitt said it felt amazing and sent out "the message that we have survived the first wave of this silent killer".
